SOCIAL CONDITIONS.
Hendon continues to maintain its position as being in the
main, residential, its easy access to London and its recognised
amenities make it increasingly popular.
One feature of the development which is worthy of note is
the number of flats in course of erection : 41 blocks containing 910
separate tenements having been erected between April, 1934, and
December, 1935.
The unemployment figure continues low, at the end of the year
1,705 men and 421 women were unemployed, being 4 per cent.
of those normally in employment as compared with 8 per cent.
for London and 15 per cent. for the country generally.
There has been no industrial development of note during the
year.
